Normally when portals opened, they gave off a high pitched ringing, capable of being heard by all cultivators above the third stage of the Magic gathering realm.
Also, before fully coming into existence, they would start out as a pitch black dot, so black that light even failed to define it's edges. The black dot would be very hard to miss, giving cultivator a maximum of five seconds to flee.
However, it was different this time around. The portal, did not appear as much as it seemed to explode into existence. One instant, Khaos could see the tall green trees in the distance behind Milly, the next instant; a circular darkness which did not belong to this world.
Milly glanced behind her and began chuckling at the sight of the portal. Tears coming out of her eyes, diluting the blood coating her face, "Thank you!. I will not disappoint you ever again", she said.
Then the smile which had appeared on her face slowly faded as she stared at Khaos, who was frozen, not in fear, but in despair, shock, and confusion, to name but a few.
"I understand master", Milly slowly nodded. "I accept the terms".
After Milly's words, a clawed paw stepped out of the portal, then another followed. Khaos only watched on with wide eyes, he could not move, his body was not responding. Not that he would know what to do even if it responded anyway.
Another paw stepped out of the portal, and soon enough the full body of the beast came into view. It was a 1.5 meter tall, four legged creature covered in bright yellow fur. It had a long snout, two tails at the base of it's spine, and four white tentacle-like appendages growing on it's back.
Khaos did not think that his eyes could widen further, nor that his shock could increase, 'Legendary Class, Lightning Synchronised, Blitz Wolf' Khaos thought. 'I thought he was just a myth, how?'.
Khaos had learnt about the beast in front of him, but the things his instructors told him seemed too farfetched to be true, so much so that he did not believe a word of it.
However, looking at the red eyes of the beast in front of him, he had no doubt in his mind. That was the Legendary Class, Lightning Synchronised, Blitz wolf. More commonly known as the LLS Blitz wolf, it was a legend even among legends.
Legendary Class was the highest class of beasts. And even in that class, the LLS Blitz wolf reigned supreme. It was by far, the strongest beast human kind has ever seen, and not that it was the strongest type of beast, no. It was the strongest period, no other LLS Blitz wolf had ever been seen, there was only one.
Nine thousand five hundred years ago, when humanity was almost extinct, the lawgiver came and wiped out all the beasts, on the whole of Zylon, saving the world, for a great price.
After doing so, humanity saw no portal incident for a thousand years, and in that time, the Lawgiver raised the average power of the world by a large margin. So much so that humans thought they could wipe out all the beasts when the portals returned like the Lawgiver did, since that seemed to extend the time before the next portal.
Then, the day came, and a portal appeared. However, instead of a horde of beast like normal, only a single beast stepped out of the portal; it was LLS Blitz wolf. Then chaos happened, black storm clouds covered the sky and the world stood still.
The wolf howled, and began running. It was too fast to see, only absolute destruction evidenced it's passage. No knew knew how it even fought, it was just too fast. Hence the name; Blitz wolf. The only reason humans knew it's appearance was that it had stood at the portal for some time before attacking.
A repeat of the past happened, but unlike the last time, it was the other way around, a single beast killed off all the cultivators above the Magic Realm, leaving only ten. Those ten were the current Lawkeepers. Then just like how it came, the beast went. No one knew what happened to LLS Blitz wolf.
Some speculated that the Lawgiver and his Lawkeepers killed it off in secret, some thought that it was weak after destroying the world and it hid somewhere on Zylon, while some thought that it had went back home somehow, since the portal had long closed.
As Khaos stood there looking straight into the Legend's eyes, he realised that the last possibility had been correct. LLS Blitz wolf had been on the other side of the portals the whole time.
Move!, I need to run!' Khaos internally screamed, he was trying so hard to move that blood began flowing out of his nose from the effort.
LLS Blitz wolf took another step forward, and the sky began to darken. Then when it was about to take another step, it suddenly stopped, and placed it's paw back to it's original position. The clouds in the sky lightened, but only in colour, not in amount, the sky now looked like a normal winter day.
LLS Blitz wolf then turned it's gaze to the sky, before focusing on Milly. Only then did Khaos notice that Milly had either fallen unconscious, or died. He did not know for sure but his bet was on the former.
The four tentacles on the beast's back suddenly moved towards Milly, then they softly picked her up like she weighed less than a grain of dust. LLS Blitz wolf held MIlly close to it's own body as it looked carefully at her. One of the tentacles even wiped off some of the blood on her face.
LLS Blitz wolf then faced Khaos again, and nodded. If Khaos could move, he would wipe whatever was on his eyes that was obviously making him hallucinate. The beast then turned around and walked back into the portal, with Milly in it's tentacles.
As soon at the last piece of fur from LLS Blitz wolf's tails disappeared into the portal, Khaos released the breath he did not know he was holding as he fell onto his knees. That was also when he realised that his body was his own again.
"What the hell just happened?" he mumbled. Unfortunately, the cosmos did not feel like giving Khaos the time to process whatever was happening to him as his instinct told him to jump out of the way.
Just as he did, a puddle of boiling red liquid splattered on the position he was at a few seconds ago. Then a second later, a meter tall, red spider jumped towards Khaos from the portal.
